Right off the bat of her Sydney neighborhood tour, Bianca introduced her new love, the 4 ½-month-old miniature Australian Shepherd, Willow.

Bianca says she takes Willow for daily walks at the dog park near a marina. Apparently, being a responsible dog owner is a big part of the culture in Sydney.

“Dito sa Sydney, huge part ng culture nila 'yung pagiging dog owner. So, kailangan 'yung mga aso dito may pet insurance, nagpa-puppy school, pupunta sa day care, tsaka dapat well-socialized sila with other dogs.

“Kundi pagsasabihan ka ng mga ibang may-ari ng aso na, 'Your dog needs more training.' So, perfect 'yung city para sa akin kasi animal-lover talaga ako and I've always had a dog.

Bianca also told hosts Iya Villania and Camille Prats during her interview, that she was a busy fur mom during Willow's first few weeks.

“Well, sa totoo lang, we did so much research before we got her. So, siguro 'yung mga first six weeks with her hindi kami natutulog, Sinusulat namin 'yung meals niya, 'yung pees niya, 'yung poos niya, just to train her properly.

“Parang baby talaga, but I found out [that] that's the right way to do it here, so that you have a well-trained dog. Kasi dito kailangan super well-behaved 'yung aso mo, kundi pagsasabihan ka ng mga tao sa labas.”

The Filipina actress has also talked about mindful living during the interview.

“Naumpisahan ko na 'yon a few years ago. But this is the time when I realized I really need to share it with people because I know it's going to help people deal with their anxiety, their worries.

“I started yoga [noong] 18 ako. I started meditating siguro mga six years ago. But now parang overall mindfulness from the things that I buy…not just the things I eat but [also] the things I wear, the things I do, the things that I think of, the media that I absorb, the time that I sleep, the way that I eat…talagang mindful and conscious kasi nga life is so precious, right?

She also gave a breakdown of her sustainable fashion OOTD during her Sydney neighborhood tour.

“So, itong dress tsaka itong jacket, binili ko siya sa isang second-hand store online. And then, kapag ayoko na rin 'yung mga clothes ko, I also sell them online.

“And another example of sustainable fashion are fabrics that are made of natural materials and also dyed with eco-friendly dye.

“Ito namang sandals ko, it's made from vegan leather. No animals were harmed in the making of my sandals.”

Bianca then revealed why she decided to fly and stay in Sydney, Australia.

“The reason why I chose to stay here is because my heart is in Sydney. (laughs)

“And I'd like to add also [na] don't lose hope. Kasi I'm 34 na, 'di ba? So, siyempre, when you find someone, gawin mo lahat. Drop everything and just try to make it work.

She also stated other reasons why she loves staying in the Land Down Under.

“It was always my dream to experience this lifestyle and to actually live somewhere like this na very 'naturey,' very wholesome, very quiet, tsaka very dog-centered.”
